Watching the Arsenal match in a local pub today, and noticed that every single guy who walked in was greeted with the news that Man United lost today - smiles, laughs, sometimes even whoops for joy.

Can someone explain to me why exactly Londoners (or, it may just be people in general, you tell me), HATE them so much? I'm pretty sure that most of these guys weren't actually Arsenal supporters, because they weren't watching the match, and I'm aware that they're old rivals - so - what's the deal here?

Not really...the match against United at Old Trafford is going to a big one though, depending on the league positions. That said, even if Arsenal were 6 points behind at that stage it'd still be a huge game because it could get United to within 3 points, or extend Arsenal's lead to 9. Not that I think that'll happen...

it's because of their glory-hunting supporters. I support Coventry City, and when we used to play them regularly there'd be hordes of Coventry Reds in the crowd. Support your local team, you tossers...

Oh, and 'Sir' Alex Ferguson is obviously a deeply unpleasant, sancti-moan-ious bully. Jose Mourinho took some of the heat off him, because he was obviously a bigger arse... but now he's gone, so it's back to Fergie-hating for his preposterous, cock-eyed statements.

Because they won everything. The Premiership was a dull place with them romping home every week with ease.

As a Lincoln fan, I detested one of their directors/chairman years ago for basically saying, the league should be all about abolished, as it is only the Top flight/Division 1 that mattered. Fuck you and your blinded attitude to grass roots level.
